Maricopa County launched a new program last week to offer incentives to landlords who accept housing vouchers from people experiencing homelessness.
Why it matters: More than 600 people in Maricopa County who are currently experiencing homelessness have a voucher that would pay for their rent, but they can’t find a place to use it. That’s according to HOM, Inc., which operates many of Arizona’s voucher programs.
State of play: Because of record-high rental demand, landlords can be pickier about who they rent to.
